"Lads' mags". More offensive than pornography. A copy of The Sun or News of the World - the very nadir of the Murdoch empire.

I'm fairly open to books of a nature with which I disagree. I keep a copy of Mein Kampf in the house - it's an important historical work, and as such has its place on my bookshelf alongside many biographies and autobiographies of a number of historical persons of whom I disapprove most strongly.

Oh yes, I'd never have any form of Nazi memorabilia in my house. Having said that I used to collect Edward VIII memorabilia (coronation mugs etc) only because it used to enrage my husband. It was an ongoing joke, I hated his model car collecting so every time a stupid model car would turn up I'd feel inclined to go & buy an Edward VIII plate or mug. lol

Ah, a collection of Nazi-sympathiser memorabilia, then. ;)

My ex was the proud owner of a gigantic inflatable novelty moosehead. It was a point of some contention between us.

Jinkies, yes.... I can imagine. I'd quite like one of the real things, though, as a hat stand (not one that had been killed purely to provide a trophy, obviously).

Speaking of serial killers, I would never have any kind of "trophy" that was once alive in my house - no heads, antlers, fur...

My great grandfather was very keen on stalking (as in shooting, not as in lurking outside bedroom windows), and my (vegetarian) grandmother gave the trophies house-space, so the animals could have a last bit of respect. The last of them, a fairly magnificent set of antlers from a stag shot in Hungary in 1917, still wears tinsel at Christmas.

I tend to have a "never say never" rule in life, so I can't think of anything that would actually be barred entry.

No Ouija Boards allowed in my house EVER. I believe they're the work of the Devil.

Totally. Satanic crap.

I hate gum too-the chewing, spitting and those gross black spots on the sidewalk. As an aside. Walt Disney World is my haven, where gum is Strongly discouraged, haha. Same in the Orlando airport where they don't even sell it.

This is not actually forbidden, in fact I buy and cook it for my husband, but I absolutely hate bacon for smelling up the whole house. My husband loves it, so I humour him, but I detest the smell and swear it creeps into everything. My sewing room is right behind the kitchen, and I fee like I can smell it in my fabric for a whole day.
